Benjamin Smith, a former Navy SEAL who is a part of the new watchdog group taking on the Obama administration over leaks that have put our national security at risk, was on with Megyn Kelly and was asked about the group’s political affiliation despite being a non-partisan group – which is a fair question. He said that while he personally leans conservative, when you are on the battlefield it doesn’t matter whether you are Republican or Democrat. If leaks compromise your mission then you both die just the same. And he emphasized that they aren’t going away and will criticize any president in the future, Republican or Democrat, who compromises national security by leaking sensitive information.

I guess I'd ask all you sailors and army (GO ARMY!) what makes you hate like you do? Is it too much Fox? I cannot believe the hate that comes out of your mouths. Interesting the way your minds work. Why hate someone like that? Are you Americans or Manchurian candidates?

My heroes are military, not politicians, celebrities, or over-paid professional game players. If you do not respect our military, you have no business running anything in this country.

Benjamin Smith is a patriot. obama is as always a criminal that should have been impeached and imprisoned long ago.

Well, yes I would - it was Axelrod. I'd like to slap that mustache right off of his disgusting face!

It takes courage to stand against your enemies. It takes more courage to stand against the people who are supposed to have your back. I support you guys in doing what's right over what's easy.

Funny how much the White House compound looks like Bin Ladin's den...

I despise miscreant democrats and liberals and their communist whoremasters but there's something just as despicable about FOX News and their presentation methods and their smarmy talking heads who deliver news about the latest attack on freedom by traitors with smiles, jokes, knee-slapping and laughter:

Does Megyn oil her chest before go on camera? I swear I can see the reflection of the cameraman between her collar bones.

Ditto with the intro to Tony Perkins of FRC, posted here too. Suddenly, the question becomes "Did the FRC contribute to the attempted murder of their own staff?" How dare they posit such a thing. Thankfully, Mr.Perkins made his well-thought-out responses in spite of that set-up, and gave an excellent interview.

There's a reason why most of the group are Republicans. Democrats don't want to go against their treasonous leader for political reasons. All it means is that the Republicans are mostly the only ones willing to take on Obama and not turn their heads concerning his criminal activity.

I'll go further than the SEAL did and say that the entire administration of the Kenyan liar, are stinking, lousy traitors. Too many of them are immature, goofy-a$$ academics who couldn't get a real job if they tried. Loose lips don't just sink ships, but they get good people killed.

Out of the long list of things O has done to destroy and divide our country, the one that angers me most is his apparent disdain he has for our military. (Well, unless their brave actions help him politically) BTW it was Axelrod who questioned their having knowledge to speak on the topic.

Megyn had a great interview with Oliver North yesterday discussing the Obama campaign's lawsuit against OH regarding the 3 day voting extended to the military. Hopefully Scoop can pull it and post it. It was great! He holds up the Constitution and asks - What's the Obama team's problem with the constitution. He also discusses the issue of military absentee ballots.

Thanks for the tip, Maxine. Having pulled out of tv and cable a few years ago, I have to rely on tips like yours and TRS!

This also goes directly to the asinine notion of trying Gitmo detainees on American soil, the unprincipled rules of engagement and the attempt by the Obama administration to out our operatives that participated in the interrogation of those detainees. If they had an ounce of respect for the talents, sacrifices, and commitments these men epitomize the country would be far better off.

What a contrast with the other Ben Smith over at Politico.

Wonder if this fabulous man will run for Congress in the future.

Thanks for posting a follow-up. Sure hope this gets played over and over everywhere on tv as well as the opsec website and youtube.

And another tragic loss today. RIP brave patriots.

The courage these men exhibit in coming forward to protect America is awesome. I don't know how any person of any political persuasion could ignore this message especially since it is delivered in a factual - and very honorable - manner.

God Bless all our military and intelligence operations in their efforts to protect America.

We, the people they serve and protect, have let them down. They would never have been put in this position if not for an ignorant electorate that allowed a treasonous usurper to stand as Commander in Chief. Yet they step forward again - above and beyond.

Patriot077
Patriot077

Yes, we have let them down and this obscene leaking of vital intelligence is just one way. The rules of engagement our troops are forced to adhere to is yet another.

We knew, didn't we, when the usurper started hiring his czars that our nation would be harmed in ways we could not yet imagine?

God help us and bless these courageous souls for speaking out.

I like the laugh. It shows that he has a sense of humor, even in defiance.

It really bothers me though, that an obama "campaign official" said that no one in in this group has authority to speak on this issue. A campaign worker, that is "CAMPAIGN WORKER" makes the judgement on what a military authority can speak on.

There really is no difference between the administration and his campaign, at least in their minds.

And the real beauty is these guys, like myself are out of the service. What can they do to us? Make us join the military? BTDT, got the T-shirt. And hat. And sweatshirt. And a closet full of old uniforms.

I thought that was brazen of obama's campaign official questioned the "right" of those special operators to criticize the recent operational leaks. That person needs to go on a special operation and see if that changes his/her mind about their "authority" to speak on that subject. I will bet the person questioning the special operator's authority has never served one single, solitary day in the uniform of our military services. I don't believe anyone who has served would say something that stupid and put the lives of our military in jeopardy like that!!!!

This is a rallying cry by this brave men that the President is jeopardizing the security of this country and the President should be ousted and then charged with treason.

I, for one, would not want to rise up into any of these guys sites because I compromised either OPSEC or their own PERSEC. It's not terribly intelligent to try to pull any Saul Alinksy type tactics with any of them either (like Media Matters or Beckel have just tried). They are the epitome of our early patriots and they fight like them.

I almost pity the leftists. Almost.

This man has a lot to say and we should be listening - carefully. Megan Kelly did all she could to make this about politics, even though Smith opened the segment saying it was not political, it was about America and the Constitution.

It is all about the elephant and donkey theater for the media - they will never ever get to the truth.

Martin2717

Yeah so I don't agree with the question that was asked being a fair one. They're a non-partisan group meaning there's no political affiliation. Leave it to the news media to stir up politics any chance they get.

I think these guys have a total right to do this and in a non partisan way. It is their lives on the line! Keep them honest guys!

And now, it has just been reported that of the 7 Americans that died on that chopper crash in A-stan, two of them were Navy Seals.

Semper Fidelis and rest well, Brothers. We will carry on the fight.
